The drama within the Cyrus family just took another intense turn as Miley Cyrus recently spoke out about the ongoing chaos surrounding her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and his divorce from Firerose. This comes after months of rumors, public tension, and family rifts that have left many wondering what’s next for this famously complex family.
The turmoil began in 2022 when Tish Cyrus filed for divorce from Billy Ray after more than 28 years of marriage. The couple had previously separated twice before officially calling it quits, with Tish citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. By August 2022, Billy Ray had moved on, announcing his engagement to Firerose, an Australian singer 27 years his junior. Despite his claims that his family was supportive of his new relationship, it quickly became evident that there were deep divides within the family.
Miley and her siblings, particularly Brandi and Trace, distanced themselves from their father following his engagement to Firerose. Rumors swirled that Miley was especially upset, with some speculating that her father’s sudden romance with Firerose might have been influenced by their past connection on the Hannah Montana set. Though Miley herself was not involved in the episode where they first met, their relationship seemed to upset her. This situation became even more complicated when Billy Ray married Firerose in October 2023.
Billy Ray’s quick move to marry Firerose shocked many, including Miley. Sources close to Miley revealed that she was concerned about her father’s decision, especially because she believed he wasn’t being cautious with his finances. Reports claimed that Miley was “freaked out” by the relationship, particularly after hearing that Billy Ray had no prenuptial agreement with Firerose. Miley reportedly wanted to sit down with her dad and siblings to discuss the potential consequences of such a decision, urging him to protect himself financially. Insiders claimed Miley was “shocked and appalled” by the relationship, feeling that it was a betrayal of sorts.
Tensions only grew when Miley won her first Grammy in 2024 but didn’t mention her father in her acceptance speech. She did, however, thank her mother, Tish, and emphasized the important role Tish had played in raising her. The omission of Billy Ray seemed to confirm that their relationship was strained, leading fans to wonder if there was a deeper rift between father and daughter.
Recently, the family drama took an even darker turn. Billy Ray filed for divorce from Firerose, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct.” Not only that, but Billy Ray also sought an annulment on the grounds of fraud. He accused Firerose of making unauthorized charges on his business credit card—nearly $100,000 worth of purchases—just after he filed for divorce. Billy Ray claimed that Firerose had used his American Express card without permission and feared that she might have access to more of his personal and business accounts.
Firerose, however, denied the accusations, with her attorney stating that the charges were made with Billy Ray’s permission and that they had regularly discussed expenses on the card. She claimed that the legal fees from her divorce proceedings were the reason for some of the disputed charges and that Billy Ray’s claims about fraudulent spending were overstated.
Despite these explosive claims, some hope remains that the family could eventually reconcile. Miley’s sister Noah has shown signs of reconciliation with Tish, posting birthday photos and seeming to mend their relationship. This has sparked some hope among fans that Miley may eventually follow suit and repair her strained relationship with her father. However, after Miley’s recent comments about her dad during an interview with David Letterman, it seems that there’s still significant distance between them.
In the interview, Miley made it clear that while she was grateful for the lessons she learned from her father, she viewed her mother as her true hero. She acknowledged that she had inherited much of her father’s personality traits, including narcissism, but subtly indicated that she didn’t view her father in the same light as her mother. This marked another public statement that fans interpreted as more distance from Billy Ray.
As the Cyrus family drama continues to unfold, it’s clear that things have only gotten messier. Billy Ray’s divorce from Firerose has added fuel to the fire, and with Miley speaking out about her complicated feelings towards her father, the family dynamic seems far from healing. Fans can only wait to see if there will be a reconciliation or if the divide within the Cyrus family will only deepen. For now, it’s clear that the drama is far from over.
